2. The offensive line is back
Until Sunday, the Seahawks had been without two of their most important offensive linemen since Week 3. Left tackle Russell Okung hurt his foot in the Sept. 15 win over San Francisco, and right tackle Breno Giacomini suffered a knee injury the next week versus Jacksonville. Since that time, Seattle also lost center Max Unger for three games (two with an arm injury, one with a concussion). In several games, the Seahawks were forced to start backups in four of the five O-line positions.
Somehow, despite a complete lack of protection for Wilson, the Seahawks kept on fighting and kept on winning. Seattle fans might have been dismayed by the apparent breakdown on offense, but less-biased NFL followers around the country saw the Seahawks as a team that can win even through extreme adversity. Now, with Okung, Giacomini and Unger back, Seattle's offense is that much more dangerous -- as we saw Sunday against the Vikings.
